BACKGROUND Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to transmission schemes in wireless communication systems, and in particular to methods and devices for transmitting power adjustment.

Related Art

Application scenarios of future wireless communication systems are becoming increasingly diversified, and different application scenarios have different performance demands on systems. In order to meet different performance requirements of various application scenarios, the 3^(rd) Generation Partner Project (3GPP) Radio Access Network (RAN) #72 plenary meeting decided to conduct the study of New Radio (NR).

In order to adapt to diversified application scenarios and meet different requirements, wireless communication systems, particularly NR, will be able to support multiple numerologies. Multiple numerologies correspond to various subcarrier spacings, various time lengths of symbol, or various Cyclic Prefix (CP) lengths, etc. At the same time, in order to improve system performance, especially the throughput and capacity of the system, NR will support more flexible resource allocation, therefore at 3GPP RAN1 #86 plenary meeting it was decided to include Cyclic Prefix-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (CP-OFDM) and low Peak to Average Power to Ratio (PAPR) or Cubic Metric (CM) waveform(s) as supported uplink waveforms. PAPR or CM of an uplink waveform has direct impact on coverage performance and power consumption of uplink transmissions utilizing the uplink waveform, and an uplink waveform will affect the target Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) while decoding the signal at the receiver side. At 3GPP RAN1 #86 plenary meeting, it was approved that CP-OFDM waveform and a low PAPR/CM waveform are complementary.

SUMMARY

In existing wireless communication systems (such as LTE), due to restrictions of transmitter hardware and requirements of controlling out-of-band emission, a maximum transmitting power of uplink transmission is subject to strict limitations. In existing specifications, a maximum transmitting power of uplink transmission and its actual transmitting power shall take into account the impacts of the transmission bandwidth, the modulation scheme, and the frequency band where the signal is carried on uplink PAPR/CM and the requirements of out-of-band emission, so as to reach a tradeoff between power consumption and coverage by adjusting the transmitting power, thus improving the system performance. In NR system, the introduction of multiple uplink waveforms (CP-OFDM and other waveform(s) capable of reducing PAPR/CM) leads to large distinctions between different waveforms in terms of PAPR/CM performance and the target SINR of receiver in uplink transmission. If the existing uplink power control mechanism is reused, the power consumption may be increased and the coverage may be decreased or even the optimized tradeoff between the power consumption and the coverage may be broken, leading to degraded system performance.

In view of the problem of uplink power control arising from the adoption of different waveforms for the system, the present disclosure provides a solution. Considering impacts of different waveforms when configuring an upper bound of uplink transmission power and controlling the actual uplink transmission power, the solution of the disclosure can improve the coverage performance and optimize the power consumption of uplink transmissions. It should be noted that embodiments in the UE of the present disclosure and the characteristics in the embodiments may be applied to the base station if no conflict is incurred, and vice versa.

In FIG. 3, the radio protocol architecture of a UE and a gNB is represented by three layers, which are a layer 1, a layer 2 and a layer 3 respectively. The layer 1 (L1) 301 is the lowest layer and performs signal processing functions of each PHY layer. The layer 1 is called PHY 301 in this disclosure. The layer 2 (L2) 305 is above the PHY 301, and is in charge of the link between the UE and the gNB via the PHY 301. In the user plane, the L2 305 includes a Medium Access Control (MAC) sublayer 302, a Radio Link Control (RLC) sublayer 303, and a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) sublayer 304.

Although not described in FIG. 3, the UE may include several higher layers above the L2 305, such as a network layer (i.e. IP layer) terminated at a P-GW of the network side and an application layer terminated at the other side of the connection (i.e. a peer UE, a server, etc.).
